World Championship Scoring Leaders
15 years ago
With the first two days of the 2009 IIHF World Championship in the books, most of the games have featured the hockey powers dominating smaller countries. Canada, Russia, Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic and the United States have beaten Germany, Belarus, Latvia, Norway, Austria and Denmark by a combined score of 30-4. Of interest to Oilers fans is the leaderboard for the tournament:
- Linus Omark: 1GP – 0G – 5A – 5PTS, +5
- Dany Heatley: 1GP – 2G – 1A – 3PTS, +3
- Matthias Weinhandl: 1GP – 2G – 1A -3PTS, +3
- Peter Cajanek: 1GP – 1G – 2A – 3PTS, EV
- Marcel Hossa: 1GP – 1G – 2A – 3PTS, +3
- Jaromir Jagr: 1GP – 1G – 2A – 3PTS, +3
- Jason Spezza: 1GP – 1G – 2A – 3PTS, +3
- Tony Martensson: 1GP – 0G – 3A – 3PTS, +3
It would of course be fool-hardy to draw any hard conclusions from a single game, but it’s nice to see an Oilers’ prospect looking so successful early in the tournament.
